TIME TO RESET

Richard Branson – Founder of Virgin said “Turning points, while they often come from moments of darkness, can steer us in the direction of great light… or light-bulb moments”

There are moments in life where everything is showing us to turn towards a different direction. When this happens, it’s almost like a hurricane destroying everything we had originally planned. We bow to the power that is being displayed in front of us.

Then something happens that came completely out of the blue that takes us by surprise. For a moment, we feel like we’ve just been hit by thunder strikes. Our head spins. Our body aches. Our mind steers in millions of directions, overwhelmed by thoughts, questions and doubts. We are forced into a corner, or into a path that looks rocky, dangerous and uncertain. We have no idea where it will take us. It feels cold, dark and scary. We need to pull all the forces within ourselves to stand back up to react to this new reality.

Moments of sudden “perceived” darkness – as we remember that our perception of the event that is taking place in our life impacts our outcome more than the event itself - can force us into small recurring depression states, that make us question everything again, when we felt we had finally acquired some level of peace and satisfaction. Although quite upsetting, those moments, if handled properly and positively, can steer us in a direction full of new discoveries and triumph we would have never presumed. There’s a reason why we were strayed.

Life is supposed to be fun, fulfilling, exciting. If that is the case, why are we struggling so much?
